I really need it ASAP. Please help me.

sentence = "My Mail Has Been Deleted"

Now i want to make three pieces of this sentence and... want it like this

variable1 = "MY"

variable2 = "Mail"

Variable3 = "Has Been Deleted"

Note:

All the sentences, i want to edit contains this word "Mail" and i want to break the sentence from where "Mail" Starts and third pieace of the sentence should start with where the "Mail" ends.

One more example (just to explain clearly what i want)

setence "His Mail is Rubbish"

It should be like this

variable1 = "His"

variable2 = "Mail"

variable3 = "Is Rubbish"

Please help. Thank you.

Very simple to do with asp. You should use the split function.

There is a tutorial for this here: http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/func_split.asp - http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/func_split.asp

If you are not sure about the length of your sentence then you can use something like this.


Dim SplitWords
Dim Sentence

Sentence = "This is your sentence"
SplitWords = Split(Sentence, " ")

Dim i
For i = 0 to Ubound(SplitWords)
Response.Write SplitWords(i) & "<BR>"
Next

Is there going to be a set amount of variables or will it depend on the length ?

Sorry if I am not clear.

Is there going to be 3 variables and thats it or is it possible there will be more ?

See it worked like this....

<%
Sentence = "This is sentence"
SplitWords = Split(Sentence, " ")
variable1 = SplitWords(0)
variable2 = SplitWords(1)
variable3 = SplitWords(2)

response.write variable1 & "<br />"
response.write variable2 & "<br />"
response.write variable3 & "<br />"
%>

so now i will be able to add one sentence in database but into pieces... and this is what i wanted... i think the work is done, i dont know if anything goes wrong later :) anyways....

Perhaps something like this:


<%
Dim SplitWords
Dim Sentence
Dim Variable1, Variable2, Variable3

Sentence = "This is your sentence"
SplitWords = Split(Sentence, " ")

Variable1 = SplitWords(0) 
Variable2 = SplitWords(1)

Dim i
For i = 2 to Ubound(SplitWords)
Variable3 = Variable3 & " " & SplitWords(i)
Next
response.write(Variable1 & "<br />")
response.write(Variable2 & "<br />")
response.write(Variable3 & "<br />")
%>
